(09-02) 12:12 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- After nearly plowing into a man who was on foot near the University of San Francisco, a driver pulled a U-turn and returned to shoot the pedestrian, according to police and media reports.

Around 2:15 p.m. Sunday, the driver of a silver vehicle shot a 37-year-old man who was crossing Golden Gate Avenue near Broderick Street, said police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy.

The driver had just missed the man and turned his vehicle around after the victim shouted at him, witnesses told news crews at the scene.

Paramedics rushed the victim, whom authorities did not identify, to the hospital with life-threatening injuries from multiple gunshot wounds, Shyy said. Police gave no description of the driver, who remains at large.
